{"cve":"CVE-2024-42488","nvd":{"published":"2024-08-15T21:15:17.270","modified":"2026-06-17T07:49:32.877","status":"Analyzed","description":"Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. Prior to versions 1.14.14 and 1.15.8, a race condition in the Cilium agent can cause the agent to ignore labels that should be applied to a node. This could in turn cause CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicies intended for nodes with the ignored label to not apply, leading to policy bypass. This issue has been patched in Cilium v1.14.14 and v1.15.8 As the underlying issue depends on a race condition, users unable to upgrade can restart the Cilium agent on affected nodes until the affected policies are confirmed to be working as expected.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":6.8},"cwes":["CWE-362"],"references":["https://github.com/cilium/cilium/commit/aa44dd148a9be95e07782e4f990e61678ef0abf8","https://github.com/cilium/cilium/pull/33511","https://github.com/cilium/cilium/security/advisories/GHSA-q7w8-72mr-vpgw"],"products":["cilium:cilium"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:54:16.205165117+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-42488","score":0.005,"percentile":0.42835,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-q7w8-72mr-vpgw","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-q7w8-72mr-vpgw","summary":"Policy bypass for Host Firewall policy due to race condition in Cilium agent","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:18.754281269Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/cilium/cilium","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cilium/cilium","ranges":["<1.14.14"],"fixed":["1.14.14"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/cilium/cilium","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cilium/cilium","ranges":[">=1.15.0 <1.15.8"],"fixed":["1.15.8"]}]},{"id":"GO-2024-3072","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2024-3072","summary":"Policy bypass for Host Firewall policy due to race condition in Cilium agent in github.com/cilium/cilium","modified":"2026-02-04T02:43:00.022633Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/cilium/cilium","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cilium/cilium","ranges":["<1.14.14",">=1.15.0 <1.15.8"],"fixed":["1.14.14","1.15.8"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
